Linear

Connect Linear so ADE can link issues, lanes, PRs, CTO context, and follow-up notes.

Linear is optional. Connect it when your planning and review loop already runs through Linear issues.

What the integration does

Issue context

Attach Linear issue details to lanes, chats, CTO prompts, and PRs.

Status updates

Publish useful progress and closeout notes back to issues.

Delegation

Ask the CTO to plan or route work from a Linear issue.

Traceability

Keep the issue, lane, commits, PR, and proof connected.

Connect Linear

1. Open Settings -> Integrations

   Choose Linear and start the connection flow.

2. Authenticate

   Use OAuth or a token with the required issue access for your workspace.

3. Choose defaults

   Select the workspace/team ADE should use when creating or linking work.

4. Test with one issue

   Link an issue to a lane and verify it appears in the lane and CTO context.

Good CTO prompts with Linear

Read ENG-142 and propose a lane plan with acceptance criteria.

Summarize what changed on the PR linked to ENG-142 and draft a Linear update.

Which Linear issues are blocked by current PR or CI state?

ADE uses the permissions granted to your Linear connection. If issue updates fail, reconnect Linear or check the token scopes.
